Well, Romulus Augustulus was the last emperor, but there is no information available where he was born. I see no need to suppose that he was born outside Italy though, as on 31 October 475 he was perhaps fourteen years of age. But of course he could also have been born in Pannonia like his father Orestes. After being deposed he was carted off to southern Italy.
If not Augustulus, than Anicius Olybrius (emperor in 472), who was from the old family the Anicii. Surely he was born in Italy.
